About Riki | |

|
Meet Riki! This bitty button is as happy as can be and loves life. She is good with other dogs and kids. Riki is going potty outside when let out regularly. She has not had any accidents in the house except one little puddle when she got so excited about a visitor. Riki will go in a crate but would rather be on the sofa with her furry foster brother. Riki sleeps all night on blankets in her foster’s bedroom and doesn’t make a peep. She doesn’t seem to know any commands and is working on basic training.Riki is friendly with everyone she meets. She has lots of energy and is very playful. She really LOVES to run and will chase squirrels. Her favorite thing to do inside the house is swipe stuffies from my daughter’s room and carry them around. She would love her very own collection of stuffies. When her human says play time is over, Riki is content to play by herself with her stolen stuffies.Riki’s ideal home would include space to run and explore outside. She would love someone to throw her toys for her to chase. Riki enjoys her walks, but she pulls hard on the leash. A walking harness will help with this until she learns she doesn’t have to be so excited ALL the time. Riki is a little over weight and needs exercise and controlled food portions to be as healthy as possible.If you can provide an active home for Riki with space to run and thrive, please apply!
